Burning a DIVX VCD with nero

hi,
I am trying to burn a VCD from a big 700MB DIVX encoded file. Nero does it, but it takes about 4 hours to encode it and then it burns it onto a CD. Throughout the process the HD isnt doing much activity, i see the light flicker every minute or so, no more than that. and the progress just doesnt go anywhere.

i was wondering if there is some setting that I am missing or sumthing,

thank you

Hello mate,

The VCD encoder that comes with NERO is pants, dont use it. The best way to convert 'em IMHO is using DVD2SVCD which will let you convert DivX to VCD (or even better SVCD). The quality of the conversion is *far* superior to Nero
AMD Athlon 1200 could encode DivX (MPEG-4) in realtime. PIII 450 could encode MPEG-2 in realtime. MPEG (1) is little easier than MPEG-2. I use XING MPEG encoder to encode MPEG movies.

Default VCD format which could play on any VCD or DVD player uses MPEG 1.0 to encode video in Mode 2 withowt error check (about 800 MB per default 700-MB CD).

Super VCD means usage of MPEG-2 encoding instead of MPEG 1.0. This couldn't be playable with most VCD players, and even some DVD players, but playable on most up-to-date DVD players.
